Finance for Non-finance Professionals - Award Winning Learning Platform
Skillsology
Summary
Overview
Knowing financials, especially in terms of meeting financial objectives, is arguably one of the most important skills in business.
Whether you are managing a team, working your way up in any business-related industry, or simply trying to improve your business skills and resume, understanding finance is vital to success. However, without a formal financial background – and therefore a limited understanding of the techniques and vocabulary – you can be at a severe disadvantage to other employees, managers or candidates that do.
This course provides a fluent and invaluable understanding of fundamental financial theory. It aims to equip all professionals with the techniques, terminology and financial skills required in business.
